Takshilla Institute

You can find us over on Gms Road in Dehradun, right opposite Ujjawal Bhawan. If you know Ballupur Chowk, we are just a short distance from there. It’s a busy part of the city, so there is always some noise from the traffic outside, but you get used to it after a day or two. Takshilla Institute isn't a massive corporate building or anything; it’s just where we set up our classrooms. We have some benches that have seen better days and plenty of posters on the walls about different subjects. Usually, the place is full of students carrying heavy bags and talking about their upcoming exams. It gets pretty lively during the afternoon sessions. We spend a lot of time just sitting with the books and going over the same chapters until everyone gets it. Sometimes the electricity goes off for a bit, and we just open the windows and keep going. It’s an honest way to spend the day. We don't have a big marketing team or anyone to answer the phones with a script. Usually, it's just one of us picking up and telling people how to get here. The location is convenient because of the chowk nearby, which makes it easy for the local buses. It is a simple place for learning, nothing more and nothing less. We keep things grounded and just focus on the teaching part of the day.
